The ultrafast photophysics of [Ru(bpy)(2)dppz](2+) (dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]-phenazine) embedded into the walls of phospholipid vesicles has been studied by femtosecond time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy. While [Ru(bpy)(2)dppz](2+) has been studied intensively with respect to its intramolecular charge transfer processes, which are associated with the well known light-switch effect, this s

The removal of particulate fine fractions by a proper high-temperature cleaning device is a very important issue in the development of the biorefinery concept. Therefore, in this investigation, particles from a 100 kW(th) steam-O-2 blown circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) gasifier were sampled and characterized. The sampling was performed with a specially designed heated dilution probe downstream of

High-level quantum-chemical methods show that the binding in the inclusion complex of hexamethylbenzene (HMB) in 6-cycloparaphenitacetylene (6-CPPA) cannot be explained only in terms of electrostatic interactions-caused by the polarization associated to curved a-conjugated systems-and the inclusion of dispersion forces is definitely needed. The theoretical description of van der Wools interactions

Recent research suggests that multilingual students tend to use their complete language repertoires, particularly their L1, when writing in a non-native language (e.g. Cenoz & Gorter 2011; Wang 2003). While there is some international research on the L2 and L3 writing process among bilinguals, the L2/L3writing process of bilingual and multilingual individuals in the Swedish context remains une

Purpose – This paper aims to develop a novel micro-ablation system to realise micrometric and well-defined hydrogel structures. To engineer a tissue it is necessary to evaluate several aspects, such as cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions, its micro-architecture and mechanical stimuli that act on it. For this reason, it is important to fabricate a substrate which presents a microtopology simi

Measurements of the adiabatic laminar burning velocities of n-heptane, iso-octane, ethanol and their binary and tertiary mixtures are reported. Non-stretched flames were stabilized on a perforated plate burner at 1 atm. The Heat Flux method was used to determine burning velocities under conditions when the net heat loss from the flame to the burner is zero. Initial temperatures of the gas mixtures

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste årtiondena har både kraftsensorer och digitala kameror kommit att bli vanliga som sensorer i olika robotiktillämpningar. Denna avhandling behandlar olika problem inom visuell rörelseskattning och återkoppling, samt integrationen av dessa tekniker med reglering av kontaktkrafter för en industrirobot. Olika ämnen tas upp, från grundläggande teori till praOver the last decades, both force sensors and cameras have emerged as useful sensors for different applications in robotics. This thesis considers a number of dynamic visual tracking and control problems, as well as the integration of these techniques with contact force control. Different topics ranging from basic theory to system implementation and applications are treated. A new interface develo

A multi-proxy palaeoecological investigation including pollen, plant macrofossil, radiocarbon and sedimentological analyses, was performed on a small mountain lake in the Eastern Pyrenees. This has allowed the reconstruction of: ( 1) the vegetation history of the area based on five pollen diagrams and eight AMS(14)C dates and ( 2) the past lake-level changes, based on plant macrofossil, lithologic

Prenatal diagnosis in the third pregnancy of a mother who already had one healthy son and one son with Fanconi anaemia (FA), revealed that her fetus was also affected with FA. At 22 weeks a maternal complaint about excessive fetal kicking starting at 15 weeks, focused our attention on the behaviour of the fetus, which was observed by means of real-time ultrasound for 30 min. The differentiation of

High-resolution photoelectron spectra of the inner- shell levels of molecular oxygen have been measured using synchrotron radiation. The vibrational structure of the two magnetically-split core-shell components is analyzed based upon ab initio calculations. The ratio between the intensities of the two components was analyzed at several different ionization energies up to about 600 eV, and the same

This article contributes to ongoing debates on how bottom-up social cooperation can halt and reverse processes of environmental and human degradation, dispossession and impoverishment, by proposing a synchronization of resistance and of commoning practices. The article moves from the empirical case of social and ecological conflicts currently unfolding in the so-called Land of Fires, an area in So

Exciton dynamics in alternating copolymer/fullerene solar cell blends have been investigated using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The acceptor concentrations have been varied over a wide range. Experimental data, kinetic modeling and simulations, all indicate that the efficiency of exciton conversion to charges is 100% even at acceptor concentrations as low as 20 wt%. The reported

This study aimed to evaluate the use of Pyrotechnically Generated Aerosols in electrical fires. To represent a common starting point for these fires, a cable fire ignited by a shortcut was chosen. In order to do this in a realistic way, a new method with heating the cables from the inside was used. This study examined whether the PGA has the ability to supress a cable fire inside an electrical cab

This thesis aims to examine the lexical and typological change found in the Western European language families of Germanic, Romance and Celtic over the last two millennia. The method used was to create one lexical and one typological database and the data was analysed according to etic grids. Tree models were generated from the results of the databases and the groups found in the tree models were

“United by Music” was the slogan of the 2024 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held in Malmö. However, the festive spirit of the event oddly contrasted with what was described as “the largest police operation in Sweden’s history” (Ivarsson, 2024). This operation was mobilized in response to the expected civil protests regarding Eurovision’s decision to welcome Israel’s participation, despite

BACKGROUND: Despite the significant personal and societal burden of tic disorders (TDs), treatment outcomes remain modest, necessitating a deeper understanding of their etiology. Family history is the biggest known risk factor, and identifying risk genes could accelerate progress in the field.METHODS: Expanding upon previous sample size limitations, we added 4800 new TD cases and 971,560 controls
